Q is for the Quad

The Quad is the heart of James Madison University. If you know me well, you know I love my
Dukes! This was my first home away from
home. I’m not sure that I can fully
express how I feel about this place. If
you are a fellow Duke, you understand.
Many schools inspire intense loyalty.
I’ve seen it from Notre Dame to Virginia Tech, but this is a little
different.

I know it isn’t Christmas, but here is a perfect example of
the heart of JMU

I have fond memories of the food, yes, the food. It was amazing! The flowers and landscaping have garnered
many institutional awards for good reason.
Walking to class along blossom lined streets in the spring fills your
heart. Having doors opened and strangers
saying hello at every turn, makes one feel welcomed – and loved. Bluestones and the Blue Ridge give you the
sense of a strong foundation.

I think it was your business card that I was referring to as the glimpse of purple. The girl in line in front of me had also gone to JMU. Small world, unless you're in NoVa. I knew of a Jeff with the same last name that did alumni work. :) GO DUKES!
